A complete eye-opener
This course was a complete eye-opener and great foundation on the topic of communicating with audiences both on personal and professional levels. The art of communicating and the tools needed to garner interest from audiences were laid out beautifully in this course. The atmosphere which was conducive with learning felt comfortable and comforting.
Also applicable to communicating with oneself
I have seen an improvement in my day-to-day communication and the ability to express myself with emotion. This is a wonderful course.
I feel much more confident speaking
This course has encouraged me to look within myself and identify my own internal anxiety. Facing this, helped me face my fear of communication and speaking in public.
More than Public Speaking
This was more than a communication and public speaking course as it delved deep into some areas of self-development that I didn’t come prepared to address and for that I am forever grateful.
The best investment made towards my personal development
The advice and class presentations helped me face my challenges head-on and lead me to be a better speaker. I am now confident speaking in any setting, and I will now even volunteer myself to speak; something that I would have never done before SPARKS!
